Chapter 44: Making Something Out of Nothing
After Yu Xi fainted, Wu Xin looked at Zhou Yi's worried expression and asked, "Are you going to take her home, or send her back to the Mountain Temple?"
Zhou Yi said: "This is too eye-catching, I'm afraid it won't work." As he spoke, he looked around, there was a cave behind this bamboo forest, warm in winter and cool in summer, and he often came here with Zhong Yu to escape the heat when he was a child. The cave was extremely hidden, and it was difficult for outsiders to find it, and Zhou Yi hoarded some food, clothing, and herbs there in case of an emergency, so it was a complete strategy to let Yu Xi go there to cultivate.
At that time, everyone had dispersed, and when they were sure that there was no one to follow Yaogui, Zhou Yi and Wu Xin sent Yu Xi to the cave together. Although Wu Xin is well-versed in affairs, when she thinks of Zhou Yi caring so much about this person, she always has an indescribable feeling in her heart.
After everything was over, the two came to see Dong Guoxiu again, Yuan Fu was also with him at that time, and he had already told him Zhou Yi's life experience.
Dong Guoxiu sighed, which made him in a dilemma. In the former, Wu Ye had the grace of knowing him, and promised his female disciple to him, this time Wu Ye entrusted him to come to chase after the Nine Dragons Jade Xiao, treating him as a confidant, he should have repaid him loyally, how could he be willful and disregard Wu Ye's trust? However, Zhou Yizhi is known to everyone, he is loyal and filial, and he did not hesitate to risk his life to save Yue Zhong.
Thinking about it, the eldest husband just acted from his heart, after all, the grievances between Baihe Mountain and Liuhang Peak were Yue Zhong, not Zhou Yi. Besides, Zhou Yi's murder is already on the brow, and Zuo Zixiao is in the dark, if he comes to make trouble, he will connect Yaogui's power internally, and receive the barbarian soldiers outside, even if he wants to rescue himself, I am afraid he will not be able to do it. So, he made up his mind to save Zhou Yi from danger.
Yuan Fu saw that he was uncertain, and persuaded awe: "Yuan Fu is not talented, but he is like a brother and sister with Brother Zhou, Yaozhai will kill him, and the younger brother will never be saved when he dies!"
Dong Guo Xiu laughed and said, "Brother Yuan thought I would take Brother Zhou to receive the reward?" The reason why I hesitated was because I hadn't thought of a way to rescue Brother Zhou, but you woke me up with a word. ”
Yuan Fuxi smiled and hurriedly asked, "Is Brother Dongguo going to save Brother Zhou?"
Dong Guo Xiu said: "If I shelter Brother Zhou for no reason, outsiders will say that I am not loyal, which is not right." If I marry Zhou Yi as Jinlan brothers, if others want to kill him again, it is reasonable for me to come to my rescue. ”
Yuan Fu patted Zhou Yi's shoulder with a smile and said with a smile: "I know that Brother Dongguo is not the kind of person who can't be saved when he sees death!"
Zhou Yi also thanked him, "Brother Dongguo is willing to come to the rescue, my mother and sister are hopeful of going home!"
As he spoke, he bowed his knees.
Dong Guo Xiu is also a cheerful person, so he knelt opposite him, hugged his fists and said: "I love to make loyal friends, Brother Zhou's name has long been heard, Dong Guo Xiu can fellowship with you, it is a blessing for three lives!"
Zhou Yi bowed to the ground and bowed, "Zhou Yi has been adrift for ten years, and the day is not safe, fortunately you have mercy, so you can save the family, Zhou has nothing to reciprocate, please accept my worship!"
Wu Xin was not full of emotion, but she didn't know what to say, so Dongguo Xiu and Zhou Yi went south to worship, worshiped heaven and earth, worshiped Guan Gong, and then called each other brothers.
On the same day, Dong Guoxiu invited Zhou Yi to Longyunzhai with great fanfare, and set up a banquet to invite everyone to come to the banquet, the purpose was to spread the news of his and Zhou Yi's worship.
At that time, Yao Gui was worried that he had nowhere to be angry, since Dongguo Xiu let Yu Xi go, Zhou Yi took him in front of everyone again, he felt disgraced, and he kept throwing things after coming back in anger. At this time, he heard that Dong Guoxiu was going to hold a feast on his territory to celebrate him and Zhou Tong's swearing, and a wave of anger arose, so he immediately brought a few people to make trouble.
Just about to go out, someone suddenly came to report, saying that Zuo Zixiao asked to see him.
Yao Gui was in a state of anger, and he was not angry, so he scolded: "Zuo Zixiao, what is he doing here! I still have important things to finish, tell him, I don't see!"
"Is there anything more important than snatching the territory of the lord of Yaozhai?"
Everyone looked out along the doorway, and saw a thin man with a roe deer's head and a mouse, dressed in mink, walking over.
Zuo Zixiao had already saluted Yaogui before he entered the door, he was smiling, and his treacherous and sophistic face made Yaogui very unwelcome.
"The lord of Yaozhai is in such a hurry to go out, I don't know if he is going to the banquet?"
Yaogui glared, "You don't get along with Dongguo Xiu, you can go directly to him to challenge, I won't get involved." ”
Zuo Zixiao shook his head and laughed, then entered the room and stood down next to a chair, "Brother Yao, where are you talking about? In your eyes, is someone on my left a villain who takes advantage of the situation to attack dissidents?"
Yaogui looked back and sneered: "Then who is Mr. Zuo saying to rob my territory to blame?"
"Brother Yao is really good at joking, my Zuo Zixiao dares to act boldly, speaks idealistically, and never does those rapping and hurting business. I put aside the discord with Dongguo Xiu and the feud, but Brother Yao is in a dangerous situation right now, won't you let me be an outsider to persuade me?"
Yaogui still didn't turn around, just tilted his head sideways, thought for a moment, and said, "What worries do I have, Mr. Zuo try to say it!"
Zuo Zixiao raised his head and laughed, "Dozens of brothers in Longyun Village died in the hands of a woman, the owner of the village can't avenge his brother and hate, he can't establish prestige and protect the foundation, at this time others are already in bed, Brother Yao can't help but fight with this evil breath, but the general trend has gone, this banquet is comparable to the Hongmen banquet, Brother Yao has to think twice!"
He was heart-wrenching, and he said it so bluntly that Yaogui's back was cold. Yaogui pondered for a while, then slowly turned around, waved his hand, and made everyone retreat, so he said with a pleasant face: "Brother Zuo judged the situation, Yaogui suddenly opened, please plan this current endgame for me!"
Zuo Zixiao's face was slightly gloomy, and he asked, "What, does the master of Yaozhai want me to stand and finish speaking?"
Yaogui hurriedly invited him to sit down and poured tea himself.
Zuo Zixiao danced his lips and tongue and talked exaggeratedly, "I look at today's things, not because the owner of the village is dishonest inside, but because others are exalting their prestige outside!"
"Please sir elaborate. ”
Zuo Zixiao said: "The Yao family has been in Changsha for generations, and Ende broadcasts is not enough to worry about. However, the embankment of thousands of miles collapsed in the anthill, and the current situation of Longyun Village today is all done by villains! Zhou Yi did not repay his kindness, but because a woman made the people in the village discord, she was really a villain!"
As soon as he heard him say Zhou Yi, Yao Gui suddenly became shocked and hurriedly asked, "Who? Zhou Yi?"
Zuo Zixiao pretended to be sad, stretched out his head and asked him, "Don't Brother Yao even know about this?"
He then put on a look like this, "It seems that Dongguo Xiu's Hongmen banquet is really going to make some fame!"
Yaogui became more and more stupid, and hurriedly asked him the truth, so Zuo Zixiao took the opportunity to give Dongguo Xiuzhi a suspicion of deliberately concealing it.
"It's not a secret, Wu Ye asked Dongguo Xiu to chase and kill Yue Zhong on the surface, but behind his back, he asked him to take the opportunity to track down Zhou Yi's whereabouts. ”
"Wu Ye's purpose is to return to the Nine Dragons Jade Xiao and arrest Yue Zhong, why is Zhou Yi involved?"
Zuo Zixiao shook his head and said: "Brother Yao, think about it, what is Yue Zhong's purpose in seizing the Nine Dragons Jade Flute? Isn't it just to get the golden pill above? The jade flute has been in his hands all these years, and if he can't keep it, the golden pill has already been taken down by him and handed over to Zhou Yu! If this is the case, this matter will become more and more complicated. Zhou Yu is benevolent and righteous on the surface, but sinister on the inside, if he wants him to hand over the golden pill, I am afraid there is no other way but to exchange it for Zhou Yi! Therefore, Dong Guoxiu has been secretly looking for Zhou Yi's whereabouts in the past few years!"
Yaogui listened to him carefully, felt that it made sense, thought for a long time, and asked, "You mean, this life-saving benefactor of mine is Zhou Yi?"
"Isn't it? I secretly traced it for three years, only to find out that Dong Guo Xiu had already collaborated with the enemy and betrayed, and he was doing things for Wu Ye on the surface, but behind the scenes, he secretly collaborated with Zhou Yu to find a wife and children for him! Zhou Tong is the incarnation of Zhou Yi, this is an indisputable fact!"
Yao Gui was confused, "Dong Guo Xiu is doing a good job for Wu Ye, why does he want to cooperate with the enemy and rebel? Also, Zhou Yu's crime has been pardoned, he has gathered a lot of people to look for his wife and children in Saibei, why should he ask an outsider to take this step?"
Zuo Zixiao said: "Is this unclear, the so-called Zhou Yi looking for a wife and children in Saibei is just a bluff, and now there are countless people who want to use Zhou Yi to blackmail Zhou Yu, the more he makes a noise in Saibei, the more those who secretly track down Zhou Yi's whereabouts will be attracted to the past, and the people he secretly sent to Jiangnan will have less resistance! Just imagine, the imperial court gave a decree to destroy the Zhou family back then, and Zhou Ying wanted to send this only son away, naturally he had to send it to a place that no one could have imagined, even himself. In recent years, the people of Baiheshan have traveled all over Saibei, and it can be seen that there is news of Zhang Yufu's woman? As for why Dongguo Xiu rebelled, it is not difficult to guess that there are two Zhou immortal masters in Baiheshan, who belong to the orthodox family, and after the scandal of the Six Hanging Peaks broke out, Wu Ye was coldly looked down upon by the world, and Dongguo Xiu was a villain, so it was not obvious where to go?"
Yaogui was encouraged by him, as if he had just woken up from a dream, remembering why Zhou Tong was reluctant to go up the mountain to join the gang, listening to Zuo Zixiao say this, everything was already clear, no wonder the day before yesterday Dong Guo Xiu came again and again to ask for the Bailing Pill, it seems that he and Zhou Yi have already colluded.
"However, there is still one thing I don't understand," Yao Gui frowned, "Dong Guo Xiu's every move is under Wu Xin's surveillance, if he fornicates with Zhou Yu, Wu Xin will not know?
"I said Brother Yao, no wonder you were kept in the dark," Zuo Zixiao covered his head and sighed, "You didn't look at the merry posture of Gongzi Zhou this week, Miss Wu has already been coaxed by him! Right now, she is colluding with Dong Guoxiu to seize the position of Brother Yao." After the matter was completed, Dongguo Xiu insisted on being self-reliant, and then quietly sent Zhou Yi back to Baihe Mountain, when the Zhou family was dominant, how could Liuhang Peak be his opponent?
Yaogui gritted his teeth, the jade cup in his hand was crushed by him, he drew his sword, and scolded: "Shameless man, I treated him with kindness, but he came back to hit my attention! I will not kill this person today, and I will not give up!"
Zuo Zixiao hurriedly stopped him and persuaded: "Brother Yao, don't be reckless!"
"What's the matter, isn't the purpose of your coming here to let me kill Dong Guo Xiu?"
"This is a mistake! I am bent on planning for you, and I have no intention of taking the opportunity to harm Dong Guoxiu. Dongguo Xiu really should be killed, but not now. ”
Yaogui asked, "Why?"
Zuo Zixiao replied: "Since it is a Hongmen banquet, isn't it clear who is the sword warrior and who is the fish and meat?"
"Don't sell it, what the hell should I do!"
"You must know that Dong Guo Xiu feasted everyone with great fanfare, the purpose was to tell everyone that he and this person named 'Zhou Tong' have become brothers, and when the time comes, if you have to expose him as Zhou Yi, Dong Guo Xiu will have a reason to swear to protect the righteous brothers. Looking at Longyunzhai, there are no longer a few people who have been bought by Yuan Fu and Dong Guoxiu, you are going to turn your face with him now, are you sure that you can command everyone?"
When Yaogui was told by him, his face was apprehensive, and he didn't know what to do.
